Matvei Michkov scored the lone goal for Philadelphia, which lost for the third time in four games. Scheifele opened the scoring with a power-play goal on a backhander at 8:32 of the first period. He then assisted on the Jets' next two goals.

Connor has been one of the league's best forwards this season and currently ranks fourth in points with 80 tallies. He has 13 points over his last nine games and a four-game point streak. The left-winger's career high of 93 points is well within reach for Connor if he can remain above his point-per-game pace.
